1. There is not one known death as a result of marijuana -- can't say that about alcohol or even coffee.
2. Marijuana smokers are better drivers, representing less than .5% (that's half a percent) of traffic violations. Studies show that people who smoke marijuana prior to driving are more likely to obey traffic rules and drive the speed limit and are less likely to exhibit road rage.
3. Marijuana smokers do not tend to be alcoholics. There is something in the way the THC interacts with the brain that reduces natural impulses to over imbibe.
4. In addition to easing cancer symptoms, it is an aid in Parkinson's, Crones Disease, and Multiple Sclerosis. (antispasmodic properties)
5. It improves/diminishes dyslexia.
6. Prior to Mydol, marijuana was routinely prescribed for "female" problems and as a way to prevent miscarriage. (antispasmodic properties)
7. Marijuana eases IBD/IBS better than any pharmaceutical. (antispasmodic properties)
8. It naturally relieves stress, the #1 killer in the Western world.
9. It is a sleep aid as well as an anti-depressant
10. It accentuates creativity and creative thinking. Sir Isaac Newton, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Ernest Hemingway, Sir Winston Churchill, Sister Theresa, Walt Disney, and Albert Einstein (to name just a few) were known to enjoy their ganja.
11. Ask any cancer or chemo patient what wonderful things it does.
12. It relieves glaucoma
13, Improves "out of the box" thinking (such as logic puzzles).
14, Approximately 33% of MENSA members smoke, so that is pretty good company (MENSA is an organization for people whose IQ is in the top 2% of intelligence).
15. It is a profitable, recession-proof endeavor to cultivate it.
16. Nobody has ever beat the crap out of their wife or kids while stoned.
The following was cut and pasted from Wikipedia:
Cannabis is established to help with
Nausea and vomiting, anorexia, and weight loss.
Cannabis is well-confirmed in treating
spasticity, painful conditions, especially neurogenic pain, movement disorders, asthma, glaucoma.
Many other conditions are also indicate cannabis for relief or treatment, but are less confirmed.
Clinical trials conducted by the American Marijuana Policy Project, a pro-cannabis organization, have shown the efficacy of cannabis as a treatment for cancer and AIDS patients, who often suffer from clinical depression, and from nausea and resulting weight loss due to chemotherapy and other aggressive treatments.[71] A synthetic version of the cannabinoid THC named dronabinol has been shown to relieve symptoms of anorexia and reduce agitation in elderly Alzheimer's patients.[72] Dronabinol has been approved for use with anorexia in patients with HIV/AIDS and chemotherapy-related nausea. This drug, while demonstrating the effectiveness of cannabis at combating several disorders, is more expensive and less available than "pot" and has not been shown to be effective or safe.[73]
Glaucoma, a condition of increased pressure within the eyeball causing gradual loss of sight, can be treated with medical marijuana to decrease this intraocular pressure. There has been debate for 25 years on the subject. Some data exist, showing a reduction of IOP in glaucoma patients who smoke marijuana,[74] but the effects are short-lived, and the frequency of doses needed to sustain a decreased IOP can cause systemic toxicity. There is also some concern over its use since it can also decrease blood flow to the optic nerve. Marijuana lowers IOP by acting on a cannabinoid receptor on the ciliary body called the CB receptor.[75] Although marijuana is not a good therapeutic choice for glaucoma patients, it may lead researchers to more effective, safer treatments. A promising study shows that agents targeted to ocular CB receptors can reduce IOP in glaucoma patients who have failed other therapies.[76]
Medical marijuana is also used for analgesia, or pain relief. It is also reported to be beneficial for treating certain neurological illnesses such as epilepsy, and bipolar disorder.[70] Case reports have found that cannabis can relieve tics in people with obsessive compulsive disorder and Tourette syndrome. Patients treated with tetrahydrocannabinol, the main psychoactive chemical found in cannabis, reported a significant decrease in both motor and vocal tics, some of 50% or more.[77][78][79] Some decrease in obsessive-compulsive behavior was also found.[77] A recent study has also concluded that cannabinoids found in cannabis might have the ability to prevent Alzheimer's disease.[80] THC has been shown to reduce arterial blockages.[81]
Another potential use for medical marijuana is movement disorders. Marijuana is frequently reported to reduce the muscle spasms associated with multiple sclerosis; this has been acknowledged by the Institute of Medicine, but it noted that these abundant anecdotal reports are not well-supported by clinical.
